Other Portable Chargers I Tested
There are so many portable chargers out there. Here are a few more I like that just missed out on a place above for one reason or another.
Small Power Banks (5,000 mAh)
Medium Power Banks (10,000-20,000 mAh)
Big Power Banks (20,000 mAh and up)
Power Banks for Travel
Power Banks for Camping
Don’t Bother
These portable chargers I tested aren’t necessarily terrible, but you can do better.
OnePlus Slim Magnetic Power Bank for $70: Sleek in silver-gray aluminum with a chamfered edge, this power bank looks lovely, but the 5,000-mAh capacity is just over half that after inefficiency takes a bite.
Denvix PowerX Power Bank for $180: This beefy 25,000-mAh power bank can put out up to 200 watts via two USB-C ports, one USB-A, and a Qi wireless charging pad, but the finish is a little too smooth, and it gets very warm when charging multiple devices.
Iniu Portable Charger for $22: It’s very small for a 10,000-mAh capacity. You can charge at up to 45 watts from either of the USB-C ports or 18 watts from the USB-A, but recharging is slow, it fell short of the stated capacity, and the display sometimes failed to update correctly.
Sharge Flow Mini for $30: With a similar design to Anker’s Nano Power Bank and the same 5,000-mAh capacity, it comes with interchangeable USB-C to USB-C or Lightning connectors (which I worry will be easy to lose) and has a built-in USB-C cable that doubles as a strap, though it’s tricky to pull out. The charging rate maxes out at 12 watts.
FansDreams MChaos for $46: I love the idea of a wearable power bank, and this one comes in lime green with a carabiner that makes it easy to attach to a bag, but recharging is slow, and you’ll be lucky to get one full charge for your phone.
iWalk Portable Charger for $27: The 4,800-mAh capacity won’t come close to fully refilling your device, but it’s tiny enough to keep in a bag at all times.
